Teddy 38

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve written a new story. But, I have one for you! And I do hope you enjoy it!! So, let’s get right into the new story!

Small Cow’s Shop

The little teddy was playing in the yard. With her was her brother Owl. They were sword fighting with some sticks. “Teeheehee!” the little teddy giggled, dodging one of Owls sword swings. Owl fell over and began laughing. Then, as he stood back up, he noticed someone walking towards them. He turned to fully see who it was. “Oh, hi Teddy Tedaloo,” he called cheerily to the newsbear. The little teddy turned to see Teddy Tedaloo walking to them. She waved energetically and smiled. “Hi Teddy Tedawoo!” she said happily, “What bwings you here?”

Teddy Tedaloo cleared his throat. “That’s Tedaloo,” he corrected the little teddy, a small smile forming on his lips, “and I’m here to tell you about a new shop that’s just opened up.” The little teddy looked at the newsbear quizzically. “A new shop?” she asked. Teddy Tedaloo nodded. “Oh yes,” he answered knowingly, “and very interesting shop at that. Maybe you should check it out. It’s straight down the road, and it isn’t too far.”

In just a matter of minutes, the little teddy and her brother were on their way, down to this new shop. “I wonder what kind of stuff they sell there,” the little teddy mused. Owl nodded. “Hopefuwwy they have candy!” he said excitedly. The two siblings giggled as the continued towards the shop.

As Teddy Tedaloo had told them, the shop wasn’t too far away. Before they new it, the little teddy and Owl would standing outside of a small shop. A sign above the door simply read “SHOP”. The little teddy looked through windows. “There’s nobody inside,” she told her brother. Owl walked up and looked inside. “You’re wight,” he agreed, “I don’t see anybody either. But maybe there in the back. The sign does say open.”

Te little teddy pushed open the door and her and Owl slowly walked inside. Looking around the shop, it seemed much like every other one they’d ever been in. And yet, there was a mysterious feel to it. The little teddy walked up the counter, curious as to why they still hadn’t seen a shopkeeper. “Hewwo!” the little teddy called out, hoping someone would hear her.

After a couple of minutes with no response, the little teddy and owl decided to leave. But just as they were about to walk out, they heard a small voice. “H-hewwo!” the voice called out, “Th-thank you f-fo-for coming to m-my shop!” The little teddy looked around for the source of the voice, but still couldn’t see anyone. But then they heard a small clopping noise from behind the counter. Then, to their suprise, a small figure appeared behind the register.

The little figure was a rather small cow, standing on a step stool. Neither sibling had ever seen a cow so small. “I-is there anyt-thing I can he-help you wif?” the cow asked, “I’m s-sure I have whate-ever you may n-need!” Owl shrugged. “We weren’t weally wooking for anything specific,” he told the small shop keep, “We’re jus bwowsing.” The little teddy nodded. “Pwus, it doesn’t wook yike you have anything special here,” she told the cow, who giggled. “Oh, I h-have more than y-you might th-think,” he assured the two, “J-ju-jus let me know w-what you need!”

The little teddy thought for a moment. What was something she really wanted but wouldn’t expect this small cow to have in his shop? She looked around and saw that despite all the things he had, he didn’t seem to have any toys of any sort. And she very much wanted a toy sword. She loved sword fighting with sticks, but she knew it would so cool to have an actual toy sword! She bounced excitedly and turned back to the shop’s little proprietor. “OH!” she exclaimed, “Do you have any toy swords? Me and my bwother need them for sword fighting!” Hearing her question excited owl, he began to flap his wings happily.

The small cow stood behind the counter, thinking. The little teddy and Owl were sure he was going to say he didn’t have any swords. But it wasn’t long before the cow was nodding. “I d-do bel-lieve I do-do!” he assured them. He slowly climbed down from his step stool and headed to a room in the back of the shop. He was gone just a short couple of minutes before returning with two toy swords. The small cow carefully hoisted the swords onto the counter as he climbed his step stool.

The little teddy couldn’t believe her eyes! These toy swords looked just like real swords! She and Owl both picked up a sword. For toys, they were pretty heavy. The little teddy swung her sword around to get a feel for it. She was so excited to have her own toy sword now! With a big smile on her face, she turned to the small cow and asked, “How much are the swords? We don’t have a wot of money, but we’ll give you what we do have.” The small shop keep giggled. “O-oh, you d-d-don’t owe me any-anything,” he answered, smiling, “They’re o-on the hou-house!” 

The little teddy and her brother were surprised to hear this. “Are you sure?” Owl asked, “We don’t mind paying for such nice toys!” The small cow shook his head. “N-no worries,” he assured them, “Cons-sider them a g-gi-gift!” The little teddy clapped her paws together. “Thank you!” she exclaimed, “Thank you vewy much!” The small cow smiled again. Then something dawned on the little teddy. She noticed that he didn’t have any eyes. She quietly pointed this out to her brother, who was just as surprised as she was about it. They were curious about what happened to him, but they both felt it would be rude to ask him.

“It’s ok-ok,” he told the siblings, almost as if he were psychic, “I un-understand. It’s w-we-weird that I d-don’t have eyes.” The little teddy could feel herself blush. She was embarrassed that it was so obvious. Again, the small cow giggled. “When I-I was y-younger, I go-got attacked by a w-wild animal. Th-tha’s why I don’t h-h-have any eyes. And i-it’s why I st-stutter t-too.” Owl let out a big sigh. He couldn’t believe something like that could have happened to someone so nice. But, as if once again sensing his thoughts, the little shop keep laughed. “D-don’t worry ab-about it, my f-f-fwiends,” he giggled, “It w-was a wong t-time ago. And a-as you can s-see-see, I get awong j-jus fine!”

The two siblings nodded in unison. This small cow, despite being blind, was able to somehow run his very own shop. It was a very impressive feat. “OH!” the little teddy said happily, “We should pwobabwy be going home now.” Owl nodded in agreement. “Yeah, that’s true,” he said, “but we’ll definitewy be coming back to visit your shop! We wanna see what else you have here!” The three of them shared a laugh. Then the little teddy said, “Next time we can bwing some fwiends wif us!! I bet they would wove your shop!” The shop keep smiled proudly. “Th-thank you,” he replied happily, “I’ll b-be wooking f-fo-foward to seeing you ag-gain!”

The little teddy and her brother exited the shop, swords in hand. “That cow was vewy nice,” the little teddy said, swinging her sword around. Owl nodded. “Oh, yes,” he agreed, giving his own sword a swing, “I weawwy wiked him. We definitewy have to go back!” As the two of them headed back home, sparring with their new swords, the door to the shop opened once more. The small cow walked out and watched as the little teddy and her brother disappeared from view. “Th-they were vewy nice,” he said to himself, “I d-do hope to s-see them aga-again!”

THE END

Well, that’s our story for tonight. I do hope you enjoyed it! I shall do my best to write more stories if I can. Sometimes I just don’t get the time I would like to work on writing. But I’ll do my best to get more out! Thank you for stopping by to read my story!

Oh, one last thing before I go. I have considered trying to collect my stories into a book if I feel I’ve written enough. Would any of you be interested in purchasing a book if I were to put one out? Please, leave your thoughts in the comments below. Thank you again for stopping by!

 

 

 

Little Teddy and the Farmers

Teddy 38

OH! Hello there! Thank you for joining me! It’s been a while since I’ve had a new story. I do hope the wait hasn’t been too much! Tonight’s story features three very nice friends of Teddy’s. You can meet them here: @SonningBear. Please give them a visit! They’re very nice bears! So, now, let’s get on with the story! Here we have Little Teddy and the Farmers!

Little Teddy and the Farmers

The little teddy was playing in the front yard. She was using a stick to practice sword fighting. She wanted to become a great sword fighter just in case she ever encountered any monsters on her adventures. The little teddy didn’t know that she would ever meet any monsters, but she wanted to be prepared! She had been getting better and better each day, so she was confident in her abilities.

She was about to head inside when she heard a voice behind her. “Hi there, little bear,” the cheery voice called out. She turned around to see Teddy Tedaloo setting up his newspaper stand. “Oh hi Teddy Tedawoo!!” the little teddy exclaimed. “That’s Tedaloo,” the bear laughed, “What are you doing today?” The little teddy held out her stick. “I’m sword fighting!” she said proudly, swinging her makeshift sword around.  The newsbear laughed again. “Well, as important as sword fighting is,” he said, “maybe I could interest you in something else.”

The little Teddy was intrigued. “OH! What could be more intwesting than sword fighting?” she asked. Teddy Tedaloo smiled. “Well,” he began, “what if I told you there were new bears moving in? And that they were farmers? And that they grow potatoes as one of their crops?” The little teddies eyes lit up when she heard the word potatoes. Potatoes were her favorite! “OH! I wove potatoes!” she said excitedly, “I wanna meet farmers!!” Teddy smiled again. “Well there’s a farm down the road where they’ve just moved in,” he explained. He pointed down the road. The little teddy was surprised to see that the farm was actually visible from her home. She thanked the newsbear and headed down towards the farm.

It didn’t take the little teddy too long to walk to the farm. It turned out that the farm seemed further than it was. And when she reached it, she saw three bears sitting on the porch of the farmhouse. Upon seeing the little teddy, the three bears stood up and waved. All three  bears looked very friendly. One of the bears walked down off the porch to meet the little teddy. He was the tallest of the three bears. “Hello there,” he said cheerily, “who might you be?” The little teddy waved and then offered her paw, which the bear happily shook. “I’m jus a wittle teddy who woves potatoes,” she said with a smile.

The farmer bear laughed. He motioned for the other two bears to come join him and the little teddy. When the two other bears came over, he introduced them and himself. “My name is Sonning,” he told the little teddy, “and these are my brothers Hanley and Endon.” The other two bears both shook the little teddy’s paw, smiling. “It’s very nice to meet you,” Hanley told her as he shook her paw. “Oh, yes,” Endon agreed cheerily. “Now, I think we should show this little teddy where we’ll be growing our crops once we’re all settled in,” Sonning told his brothers, who both nodded in agreement, “So, please, follow us little one.” And with that, they headed around the side of their farmhouse. The little teddy eagerly followed the three bears.

What the little teddy saw around the house amazed her. A huge expanse of land with nothing growing lay before her. Her eyes scanned the area, trying to determine just how big it was. But, the little teddy was unable to tell. “Wow,” she gasped, “there’s so much wand here!” The three bears laughed. “Yes, and in no time at all, we’ll have planted our crops,” Hanley told her. “And when they begin growing, it’s going to look much different here,” Endon added. The little teddy looked out at their land again, trying to imagine it filled with crops. It was too much for her to think of!

“So when do you gwow the potatoes?” the little teddy asked the farmers. Sonning laughed heartily. “Well, it won’t just be potatoes growing hear, little one,” he explained, “We’ll have all sorts of crops!” Endon took the little teddy’s paw and walked her towards the field. “This field will actually be for wheat, barley, oats, and corn,” he told her, “We have a separate area for all of our vegetables. Follow me!” Endon then led the group to the back of the farmhouse. The little teddy was excited by what she saw there.

A huge garden was in the works around back. The three bears had already marked what vegetables were to go where and everything! “OH!” she exclaimed, “This garden is jus so big!!” The three farmers laughed again. “Well, to be successful farmers, we need a big garden,” Hanley told her. “Yes,” Sonning added, laughing, “and if you come with me, I’ll show you exactly where we’re going to grow our potatoes.” The little teddy began bouncing excitedly. Finally! She would see where the oh so yummy potatoes would be!

Sonning led her to section of the garden that was slightly bigger than the rest. “Here is where our potatoes will be planted,” he explained, “As you can see, this section of the garden is a little bigger than the rest. That’s because we too love potatoes!” The little teddy was excited to hear that the farmers enjoyed her favorite food too. “We have a few weeks yet until we can start planting our crops,” Sonning explained, “but once we do, we’ll have our hands full with work to do.” Hanley and Endon both nodded. “Yes, it’s hard work being a farmer,” Hanley agreed.

The Teddy took a bit to walk around the garden, checking out each garden plot. It was really exciting for her to see exactly where all the vegetables were to going to be grown. “Ive always wondered where my potatoes came fwom!” she giggled, poking the garden plots with her paw. Sonning laughed. “Well, you may end up getting them from us this year,” he told the little teddy. “Oh tha’s a vewy cool thought!” she said. She was excited to know the farmers who would grow her potatoes.

“I’m sorry you came all the way here to see our farm to catch us just getting things set up,” Hanley apologized. The little teddy shook her head. “Oh no, tha’s ok!” she assured him, “It’s jus fun to see such a cool farm!” The three bears smiled. “Thank you very much,” Sonning said happily, “But we do hope you’ll come by to visit once we’ve actually got some crops planted! Maybe we can show you everything necessary to be a good farmer!” The little teddy began to bounce excitedly. “OH! That would be so vewy gweat!” she exclaimed.

The three farmers invited the little teddy to stay for a snack before she left. And the little teddy was more than happy to accept the invitation. Sonning and Hanley went to the kitchen to cook up something, so Endon asked the Teddy to go on a short walk with him. “We’re going to an area off the other side of the farm. I wanna show you something,” he told her as they headed down a small dirt road. The little teddy was curious as to what Endon wanted to show her.

The walk was short, and the little teddy wasn’t disappointed. What awaited them at the end of the path was a giant wall with what appeared to be rocks jutting out of it. “What is this?” the little teddy asked, wide eyed. “This is my rock climbing wall,” Endon explained. “Wock cwimbing?” the little teddy asked, “But I thought you were a farmer?” Endon laughed. “I am,” he told her, “but I also have a dream to become a great moutaineer some day!” The little teddy looked up the huge wall. She was amazed to think anyone could climb such a large wall.

“So how do you become a mountaineer?” the little teddy asked Endon. “I just practice climbing every day,” he answered, “There’s this world famous mountaineer bear named Munro. I really look up to him and hope to be as good as him some day! Maybe even meet him!” The little teddy nodded. “That would be so cool!” she told him, “I weawwy hope you can meet him one day!” Endon smiled and then began to lead the way back to the farm.

When they reached the farm, Sonning and Hanley were just coming out. The both were carrying a large plate. As they got closer, the little teddy thought she smelled potatoes. And she was right! “We have freshly fried potatoes for everyone!” Hanley announced. Endon and the little teddy both took a seat at a picnic table just outside as Hanley and Sonning set out a large plate of potatoes for everyone. They then took their seats alongside the little teddy and Endon. “Oh these jus wook so vewy yummy!” the little teddy told her hosts happily. “Well, dig in!” Sonning told her, smiling.

The little teddy really enjoyed the yummy potato snack that her hosts had made. “Those were super duper yummy!” she told Sonning and Hanley. “Yes, they were quite good, as always,” Endon added, finishing off his plate of potatoes. Both Sonning and Hanley smiled proudly. “Not only do we pride ourselves on our farming, but we also do so in our cooking abilities,” Hanley said. The little teddy nodded. “You bof did a gweat job,” she told them, “Now I think I should pwobabwy head home.” The three bears nodded. “That’s quite alright,” Sonning told her, “We were very happy to have you visit. Your the first visitor we’ve had. Please, do come again!” The little teddy hugged the three farmers and assured them she would be back. And then she headed back home.

Just like the walk there, the walk home didn’t take the little teddy too long. And when she got back, she saw that Teddy Tedaloo was still at his stand. She walked over to him, smiling. “Thank you Teddy Tedawoo! That farm was so cool and the farmers were super nice!!” she told him excitedly. The news bear laughed. “That’s TedaLOO” the told the little teddy, “and I’m happy you enjoyed yourself!” The little teddy hugged the newsbear and then walked back to her yard. She couldn’t help but think about the farmers she’d just met. And she was excited to learn about farming the next time she visited.

THE END

 

Well, there it is. I do hope you all enjoy the story. I am sorry for taking so long to get this one out. Sometimes stories don’t come easily. And I wouldn’t ever want to rush a story. If I did that, you could end up with a very poor story. And I aim to give my audience the best stories! Please, leave any feedback in the comments section! I will begin working on a new story as soon as inspiration hits!

 

 

Little Teddy and the U.F.O.

Teddy 39

OH! Hello there! Thank you for joining me for another story! I’m very sorry that it’s been so long since my last story. Daddy has been having a rough couple of weeks at work and hasn’t really been up to helping me. He’s still feeling pretty rough, but he promised to help me today.

Our story tonight is about the unknown. And how just because we don’t understand everything, we don’t have to fear the unknown. I know present to you, Little Teddy and the U.F.O.

Little Teddy and the U.F.O.

The Little Teddy was playing out next to her house. She was pretending to collect potatoes, using rocks to stand in for the potatoes. “Oh I jus have so many potatoes!” She said happily as she added more ‘potatoes’ to her stash. She picked up another ‘potato’ and pretended to eat it. She giggled to herself and pretended to eat another.

As she went to pick up another ‘potato’, she suddenly heard whistling. She looked around to see Teddy Tedaloo setting up his news stand for the day. The little teddy walked up to the news bear. “Good morning, Teddy Tedawoo!” she said happily as she reached him. Teddy Tedaloo smiled. “That’s TedaLOO,” he told her, “And good morning!” He picked up a copy of his latest newspaper and showed it to the little teddy. “Have your heard about the U.F.O.?” he asked her. The little teddy’s eyes widened. “No,” she told the bear, “But pwease tell me about it!”

Teddy Tedaloo told the little teddy that people had been reporting sites of a U.F.O. flying above the woods at night. They claimed that a spherical craft with lots of bright lights would circle the sky above the woods for a while, and then just fly away. “OH!” the little teddy exclaimed as he finished explaining, “I wanna see the U.F.O.! I wanna meet awiens!” The little teddy ran off to tell some of her friends about the U.F.O.

The first place the little teddy went was the cave of her friends Dee and Little Dee. They greeted her happily when they saw her approach the cave. “Oh hi!” Dee said, smiling, “We’z vewy happy to sees you!” The little teddy started bouncing excitedly. “OH! We have to get Mickey and Zombie Jem!” she told her friends, “We’re gonna see a U.F.O.!” The two cave bears began bouncing too. “We want sees yoofos!!” Little Dee told her happily. The three friends hurried off to Zombie Jem’s house.

It didn’t take the three long to reach Zombie Jem’s house. The little teddy walked around to the side of the house to get the doorbell stick. She came back around and used the stick to ring the bell. Moments later the door was opened by a familiar looking humen. “Why hello there,” Sparkie said when as she opened the door, “How are you all doing?” The little teddy and two cave bears all smiled. “Were doing well,” the little teddy answered, “We jus need Zombie Jem so can hang out in the woods and wait for the U.F.O.”

It turned out that Zombie Jem was out with Shakie. “Don’t worry though,” Sparkie assured everyone, “They’ll be home very soon. Now, why don’t you tell me about this U.F.O.?” The little teddy explained what Teddy Tedaloo had told her. Sparkie smiled and nodded. “Ok,” she began, “they should be getting home just about now. So you can go wait for the U.F.O. with him. Just be very careful!” The little teddy and her friends all promised to be safe.

A few moments later, Shakie walked through the front door, followed by Zombie Jem and Mickey. “Oh yey!” the little teddy said happily, “Mickeys here too! No we dont have to get him!” Zombie Jem and Mickey both walked over to hug their friend. She explained the plan to wait for the U.F.O. and meet the aliens. “Oh, that sounds fun!” Mickey told her. “Oh yes,” Zombie Jem agreed, “Let’s do this!” So the friends headed back out into the woods.

They decided to wait in the woods near the Dee’s cave. They could set up some chairs in the clearing and began waiting. “Oh! This fun!” Little Dee exclaimed as he brought out some snacks from the cave. As he began to give some snacks to everyone, he heard a rustling in the trees. Everyone else heard it too, and when they looked around, they saw T jumping around the trees. “Hi, everyone!” he said cheerily, hopping down from the tree, “What are you all doing?” Dee clapped his paws together. “We wait for yoofo!” he told the mischief maker. “What’s a yoofo?” T asked.

The little teddy explained everything to T. “I’ve seen this U.F.O. before,” he told his friends. “Really?” Mickey asked. “Oh yes,” T answered, “I’ve never seen any aliens, but I’ve seen the U.F.O.” The little teddy was getting so excited that she began to bounce. “Oh, look at her,” Zombie Jem laughed, “she’s really excited for this U.F.O.! Let’s all bounce around with her to help pass the time!”

The friends bounced around the woods for hours until it started to get dark. “Oh!” the little teddy said excitedly, “it’s almost time!” The friends gathered back at the clearing by the cave and waited. It wasn’t too long before they got to see what they wanted. The sky began to light up. They heard a loud rumbling coming from far off. It quickly grew louder, and soon they saw the U.F.O. coming towards them.

Soon the U.F.O. was right above them. It began to descend and soon it had landed in front of the friends. “OOH!” the little teddy exclaimed, “U.F.O.!” Everyone gathered together as a door opened on the spacecraft and a ramp lowered. A form appeared at the doorway of the ship. A form that looked bearlike. The figure began walking down the ramp towards the friends.

It turned out that the figure was indeed a bear. “Greetings,” the bear said, waving. The little teddy walked up to bear and waved happily. “OH! Hewwo there,” she said happily, “What’s your name?” The Bear smiled. “Oh, I’m sorry, let me introduce myself,” she began, “My name is Fuzzy Bear, but you can just call me Fuzzy!” The rest of the friends came up and introduced themselves. They even invited her to eat with them.

“So, what made you come to Earth?” Zombie Jem asked as Little Dee got together some snacks for Fuzzy. The alien bear shrugged. “Oh, I was just curious to see what it was like here,” she answered. The cave bears giggled. “Thas funny!” Dee laughed. “Oh yes!” Little Dee agreed, “Iss just Earf!” Everyone laughed and then began eating their snacks. Fuzzy really enjoyed the Earth snacks. “These are so yummy!” she said, eating a snack the little teddy had given her, “What are they called again?” The little teddy smiled. “Oh! Tha’s a potato!!” she told the alien bear. “Well it’s very yummy!” Fuzzy told her!

After eating their snacks, the friends talked about her planet. It turned out to be very similar to Earth. “We just call our planet Home,” she explained to them, “it looks very much like Earth. We even have many of the same animals and foods. But some, like these yummy potatoes don’t grow on Home.” The friends loved learning about Home. T was happy to hear that they even had mischief makers there. “Mischief is very important!” he proudly told everyone.

After talking with their new friend for a while, everyone started to get tired. “Do you have to go back?” Mickey asked Fuzzy. She shook her head. “No, I plan to stay here for a while,” she answered. The little teddy began to bounce excitedly. “OH! Can we all stay the night in your cave, Dee and Little Dee?” she asked the cave bears. The two bears nodded happily. “Oh yez!” Dee said happily, “We be happy if everone stay!” Fuzzy Bear smiled. “Thank you very much for being so nice everyone!” she said, smiling, “Many movies about Earth we have on Home make it seem like you’re all mean and scary!” Zombie Jem laughed. “Actually, many of movies make other aliens seem mean and scary too!” he told her. Everyone laughed. They then settled down for a good night’s sleep.

THE END

Well thank you all for joining me tonight. I hope you enjoyed my story. And though the friends in story didn’t judge the alien bear, many people tend to judge others because they don’t understand their differences. But this isn’t a good way to do things. You should never judge first. It can be very problematic. So even if you didn’t like the story (though I very much hope you did), please know that something being unknown doesn’t make it bad. Thank you all. Please leave any comments you have in the comments section below.

Oh, hello! Welcome to another story time! I’m very happy to see you all again! My stories seem to be quite popular. Before we get to our story, I would like to take a moment to recognize two writer bears who have inadvertently help give me the confidence to begin my own writing career. Teddy Tedaloo (@TeddyTedaloo) and Mawson Bear (@MawsonBear) are both published authors and are both very nice bears. Please, do check them both out when you can!

Now, our story tonight is full of mischief. There are many out there who like to cause trouble. Sometimes, it’s just their way of being playful. Not all trouble is malicious. Some is quite benign. The mischief in our story is of the benign nature. But I won’t give too much away. Let’s get right into the story. It is titled “Little Teddy and the Mischief Maker”.

 

Little Teddy and the Mischief Maker

The little teddy was walking in the woods with her friends Zombie Jem and Mickey. They were going on another picnic at Dee and Little Dee’s cave. They had grown quite fond of the two cave bears. “I bwought two extwa speshul potatoes,” the little teddy told her friends, “I think they will weawwy yike them!” Mickey smiled. “I’m sure they will,” he agreed.

It had rained the night before so the ground was pretty slick. The little teddy tripped on a rock and, as she tried to get her balance, slipped and fell in the mud. Zombie Jem and Mickey carefully ran to her. “Are you ok, PammyBear?” Zombie Jem asked as he and Mickey reached down to help her up. But to his surprise, the little teddy was giggling. “Teeheehee! That was fun,” she laughed. Mickey laughed as they picked up their friend.

After cleaning up the little teddy, the three friends started back towards the cave. But when Mickey went to grab their picnic basket, he couldn’t find it. “What the?” he looked around, but couldn’t find the basket. “Wha’s the matter?” the little teddy asked him. Mickey shrugged. “Our picnic basket seems to have disappeared,” he answered her, still looking around. “How is that possible?” Zombie Jem asked. Mickey shrugged and shook his head. The little Teddy and Zombie Jem began helping his search.

After searching for about twenty minutes, the three friends were just about ready to give up. “Well, at least we didn’t plan this ahead of time,” Zombie Jem said. “Yeah, but its so disappointing that Dee and Little Dee won’t get to twy my potatoes,” the little teddy replied, hanging her head. “OH!” Mickey called out, “Found it!” The little teddy and Zombie Jem turned to Mickey and saw that he was pointing at a tree. They looked up and saw that their picnic basket was in the tree, hanging from the highest branch.

“How the heck did it get up there?” Zombie Jem asked, trying to figure out how they were going to their basket back down. “Tha’s a weawwy good question,” the little teddy answered, “How are we going to get it back down?” They determined that since none of them were good at climbing, there best bet was to try and knock it down with rocks. They all walked around looking for the biggest rocks they could still throw. But, when they got back to try and knock the basket down, they saw that their basket was now sitting at the base of the tree.

“What?” the little teddy questioned, “It was jus up in the twee. How did it get back down?” She went over to pick it up and noticed that it was much lighter than when they had packed it. She opened it up and was shocked to find it empty. “The foods are all gone,” she told Zombie Jem and Mickey. “What,” Mickey said confused, “How can it all be gone?” Zombie Jem looked up and saw that the contents of their basket were floating in the air where the basket had just been.

“What is going on here?” Mickey asked aloud. Just then, the friends heard a light giggling coming from behind them. They turned around, but nobody was there. Then they heard more giggling, this time from above them. They looked up, but again, nobody was there. “Who’s there?” Zombie Jem called out. But there was no answer. Suddenly, one of the little teddys potatoes fell from where it was floating. Then everything else followed. But it seemed that everything slowed down just before hitting the ground.

The three friends began gathering all of their picnic supplies. After they got them all together, Mickey went to get the picnic basket, only to find it missing again. “It’s gone again!” he exclaimed. Zombie Jem and the little teddy turned to see that their basket was indeed gone again. The heard giggling from behind the tree. Mickey ran around the tree, but found nobody. “Who the heck is messing with us?” he asked aloud as he walked back around.

When Mickey got back around the tree, he found the little teddy and Zombie Jem scrambling to catch all of their food, which was flying around in the air. The little teddy giggled as she chased her potatoes around. “Teeheehee,” she laughed, “this is siwwy and fun!” As he managed to catch some cookies, Jem said, “It may be fun, but I would much rather our food stop flying around so we can get back to out picnic.” As if he had spoken magic words, all the food fell to the ground.

The three friends gathered up their food and other picnic supplies. They put it all into the basket, this time without incidence. Once they were sure they had gotten all of their things together, they headed off in the direction of the cave. But they hadn’t gotten very far when they heard a faint sniffling. “Wha’s that?” the little teddy asked, “Is someone cwying?” They looked around to find the source of the sniffling. The little teddy soon found the source.

“Wook up there,” the little teddy said, pointing up. Zombie Jem and Mickey looked up to see a small bear sitting where their stuff had been up in the tree. “Hey,” Mickey called up to the bear, “come down here!” The bear wiped his eyes. “No!” he yelled down to the three friends. “Come on, pal,” Zombie Jem tried, “we just want to talk.” Again the bear yelled down, “NO!” The little teddy rummaged through the picnic basket. She pulled out a potato and held it up. “I’ll give you this potato!” she told the bear. This time the bears ears perked up. Then he vanished.

Moments later the small bear appeared before the friends. “How did you do that?” Mickey asked the bear, surprised by what he had just seen. “Potato, please,” the bear asked the little teddy, ignoring Mickey. He held out his paw and the little teddy gave him the potato. He took a bite and then smiled widely. “Oh, this is quite yummy,” he told her happily. The little teddy giggled. “It is nummy, isn’t it?” she asked, smiling.

“Why were you crying?” the little teddy asked the bear, after he had finished eating the potato. “Oh,” the small bear sighed, “I thought we were all having fun, but you didn’t like my games.” Mickey and Zombie Jem exchanged glances. “What games?” Zombie Jem asked. “When I was hiding your stuff,” the bear explained, “and when I made it all fly around.” Mickey walked up to the bear. “Wait, that was you?” he asked, “How is that possible?”

“Well, I’m a mischief maker,” the bear explained. He giggled and bowed. “My name is T,” he continued, “It’s a pleasure to meet you.” The little teddy scratched her head. “Mischief maker?” she asked, puzzled. “Yep,” T replied, “It’s my job to cause mischief wherever I go. But only good mischief, never bad.” Zombie Jem laughed. “I didn’t know that mischief maker was a job,” he said, “but that’s pretty great.” T sighed. “We normally like to have fun with others, but you all seemed more frustrated with my games,” he said flatly.

The three friends laughed. “No, no!” Zombie Jem assured T, “We weren’t frustrated at all! In fact it was quite fun.” T shrugged. “Then why did you want me to stop?” he asked confused. Mickey smiled. “Because we’re going to our friends cave,” he explained, “to have a picnic!” T’s eyes lit up. “OHH! I’m sorry,” he told the three, “I didn’t mean to keep you from something so fun!” The little teddy giggled again. “Oh it’s ok!” she told T. Then she had an idea. “OH!” she exclaimed, “Why don’t you come wif us?” T clapped his paws together. “Oh! Really?” he asked happily, “Is it really ok?” The three friends nodded.

On the way to Dee and Little Dee’s cave, the three friends got to know T a little better. In a short time, the little Teddy could tell they had made a really good friend. “So you can really use magic,” Zombie Jem asked. “Oh yes!” the bear happily replied. He then demonstrated some of his magic by disappearing and reappearing multiple times. He then turned to the little teddy. “Do you have another potato?” he asked her, “If so, could I hold it? I promise not to eat it.”

Reluctantly, the little teddy handed over her other potato. T took it and tossed it high into the air. It landed back in his paw. Then to everyone’s amazement, another potato fell down. He caught it too and handed it to the little teddy. “Here, for the one I ate earlier,” he said with a smile as she took the potato. “Oh, thank you,” the teddy smiled, “Now I still have two speshul potatoes for Dee and Little Dee!” T smiled. He was happy to have met such nice bears, despite their misunderstanding. They continued happily to the cave so they enjoy their picnic.

A Hedgehog Trumps at Midnight

Teddy 39

Oh, hello there! Thank you for joining me for another story! This story has a few special guests! I am quite honored to have gotten these guests permission to fictionalize them in one of my stories. If you would like to meet these gusts yourself, please check out their twitter account. Their handle is @slug_soup. You’ll sure to find something interesting from this group. Now, please, enjoy the story!

A Hedgehog Trumps at Midnight

The little teddy was in the forest. She was hanging out with her friends Zombie Jem, Mickey, and her new friends Dee and Little Dee. They had decided to have another picnic since their last one had been such fun. And this time they had more food to share with their cave bear friends. They had decided to have their picnic at night because Dee and Little Dee had told them how pretty it was outside their cave at night.

And it certainly was. The light from the cave seemed to light up their whole picnic area. “It’s all so pwetty,” the little teddy said, looking around the forest. “Oh yes,” Dee said, coming out of the cave, “I fink is bestes part of the fores!” He walked over to the picnic area and set down a huge handful of chocolate. “Oh, that looks yummy,” Mickey said, picking up a piece and popping it into his mouth. “I agree,” Zombie Jem said, “it does look quite yummy.” He grabbed a piece of chocolate for himself and one for the little teddy. They both smiled as they ate they delicious treat.

The little Teddy was about to give everyone a potato when they heard a sound. Like a faint whistling. And as soon as it started, it stopped. The little teddy handed everyone a potato and then took one for herself. “I hope you all yike these potatoes,” she told everyone, “Thare some of my most speshul potatoes!” She went to take a bite of her potato when they heard the sound again. A little louder this time. But it still sounded like a faint whistling.

“Hmm…sounds like the trumping,” a voice came from nowhere. Everyone looked around until they suddenly noticed Teddy Tedaloo standing at the entrance of Dee and Little Dee’s cave. Little Dee jumped when he saw the bear who seemed to appear out of thin air. “OH!” he yelped, “Wheres you did comes from?” Teddy Tedaloo smiled. “Oh, you know,” he answered, walking towards the picnic area. He picked up a piece of chocolate and ate it. “You hear that?” he asked everyone. The little teddy and her friends listened closely. And sure enough, they heard the whistling. “It’s the trumping,” Teddy Tedaloo said.

“Wha’s the Twumping?” the little teddy asked the bear. “Oh, let’s say it’s a…notification” Teddy Tedaloo answered, “to let us know they’re coming.” This piqued Zombie Jem’s curiosity. “Who’re they, exactly,” he asked the bear. Teddy Tedaloo laughed. “Oh, you’ll see soon enough,” he replied. Suddenly they heard the whistling again. And it was getting louder. “They’ll be here soon,” the bear told everyone. Dee and Little Dee both began jumping excitedly. “Oh new frens!” Little Dee said excitedly, “Wheres they at?”

As if on cue, a light fog filled the area. And deep in the fog was a figure. Ambling slowly towards the group, the figure grew in size until everyone could see who was walking toward them. The figure was in fact, multiple figures, walking in a single file line. The little teddy counted five frogs and two hedgehogs in the line. They stopped in front of the picnic area. Then a small frog wearing an orange shirt walked out from the line. The little teddy walked toward the frog. “Oh hewwo,” she said happily, “it’s so nice to meet you!!”

The little frog just looked at the little teddy for a minute. Mickey came up to the little teddy. “Um…what’s your name?” he asked. “Tico,” the little frog said simply. “Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” Mickey said, “And what about them?” Upon hearing him ask, each member of the line stepped forward and introduced themselves, quickly stepping back afterwards. “Happy Tico!” a jolly looking frog said. “Lavender,” came the answer from a small light green frog. “Rod,” said a slightly larger frog with red spots on his front paws. The smaller of the two hedgehogs stepped forward. “Quatdgy,” the little hedgehog said before walking off. A taller, skinny frog stepped forward. “Jenkin,” the frog said, then followed Quatdgy off into the fog. Finally, the larger hedgehog stepped forward and stood next to Tico. “Ed-dy” she introduced herself. “Why are you here,” Zombie Jem asked, confused. A slight smile appeared on Tico’s face. “Soup,” came their answer.

“Soup?” Zombie Jem questioned. Tico nodded. “Yes, soup,” the little frog said and then stepped back into the line. Moments later, Quatdgy came back, holding a stack of bowls. The little hedgehog handed a bowl to everyone and then shuffled off back to the line. The tall frog, Jenkin, came back and handed everyone a spoon. He too rejoined the line then. Once he was back in line, Ed-dy walked off. She came back shortly, pulling a large cauldron on wheels. She stopped the cauldron by the picnic area and walked off again.

Little Dee walked up to the cauldron, curious to see what was in it. He was expecting soup, but was surprised to see that the cauldron was empty. “Where soup?” the Cave bear asked Tico, “I is hungry!” Tico pointed in the direction Ed-dy had headed. Little Dee looked and saw that the hedgehog was walking back with a ladle. She reached the cauldron and began stirring. Suddenly, everyone heard a variety of sounds. The noises were all coming from the line where the strange visitors were standing. Mickey sniffed the air. “Wait a minute,” the small bear said, “are they…”

“Trumping,” Tico cut him off. He walked up and stood next to Ed-dy. “Twumping?” the little teddy asked, “what’s twumping?” The little frog simply pointed back to the line. Tico then took Little Dee’s bowl and held it out to Ed-dy. “Slug,” the little frog said to her. “Slug,” Ed-dy repeated before filling the bowl. Zombie Jem was amazed at how she filled the bowl when the cauldron had just been empty. “Soup,” Tico said, pointing to Jem. He walked up and Tico took his bowl and held it out. “Creamy tomato,” the little frog said. Ed-dy repeated this and then filled the bowl.

This went on until everyone had a full bowl of soup. The little teddy was delighted to have a bowl of potato soup. Mickey got a bowl of veggie beef, which smelled delightful. Dee received a bowl of cream of mushroom. Everyone was excited to try their soups that their odd guests had delivered. Tico nodded at everyone. “Soup,” the little frog said. Everyone excitedly tried their soups. And not surprisingly, everyone loved their soups.

“That was delicious!” Mickey said happily after finishing his fifth bowl of soup. Everyone had tried each others soups and none could decide which soup was the best. Dee was licking his bowl clean to make sure he got everything. “Oh!” he said happily, “Soup! Is vewy goods! Little Dee and I is so fulls now!” Little Dee clapped his paws together. “Oh yes,” he agreed, “is so goods!” Ed-dy smiled. “Good,” she said flatly. Jenkin went around and took everyone’s spoons while Quatdgy collected everyone’s bowls.

Once everything  had been collected, Quatdgy and Jenkin walked back into the fog, followed by Ed-dy and her cauldron. They came back and Quatdgy and Jenkin got back in line. Ed-dy stood in front of the friends and bowed her head. “Thank you so much for the nummy soups,” the little teddy said to the hedgehog. Tico stepped forward. “We are glad you enjoyed Ed-dy’s soup,” the little frog answered, “We shall be taking our leave now.” Ed-dy raised her head and took a spot at the far end of the line. Tico went to the opposite end.

The line of strange frogs and hedgehogs turned and started walking into the fog. They then began trumping as they disappeared. “Well they were an interesting bunch,” Zombie Jem said when they had completely vanished into the fog. The Fog seemed to disappear with them. “They were odd, but I did realy enjoy them,” Mickey said. “They gived us nums!” Little Dee added happily, “We do loves nums!” The little teddy giggled. “I hope we see them again one day!” she said. “Oh, I’m certain you will,” they heard Teddy Tedaloo say. He was walking away from them into the woods. “He’s an odd one too,” Zombie Jem said as the bear too disappeared. “But I yike him,” the teddy told her undead friend. The friends spent the night discussing the newest of the many odd friends they had made.

Little Teddy and the Giants

Teddy 38

Oh hello, everyone! Thank you for joining me for a new story. I think you’ll all enjoy tonight’s story. We have a couple of guest stars in our story tonight! But you’ll have to read the story to discover who they are! So, here is tonight’s story. Little Teddy and the Giants

Little Teddy and the Giants

The little teddy was in the forest. She was hanging out with her sister, Beary, her brother, Owl, and her two friends, Zombie Jem and Mickey.  The five of them were having a picnic. They had all sorts of yummy foodstuffs and were all enjoying themselves. “Oh, could you pass me some potatoes?” the little teddy asked Owl, who was sitting across from her. “Of course!” Owl replied, smiling, “here you go!” Owl passed a big bowl of potatoes to the little Teddy. She took a few and ate them up. Then, after a moment, she took the rest and ate them too. She giggled as she passed the empty bowl back to Owl.

The five friends enjoyed their food and, when it was all finished, they cleaned up everything and began to walk to Zombie Jem’s cemetery. “That sure was a nice picnic” Jem said cheerily, “So much great food!” The little teddy rubbed her tummy and smiled. “Oh yes,” she agreed, “so many potatoes!” She was about to say something else when a voice sounded from behind them. “Would you like to go on an adventure?” the voice said. Everyone turned around to see who was talking.

Standing behind them was Teddy Tedaloo. The bear was standing there, holding a copy of his newspaper, The Teddy Tedaloo Times. The little teddy noticed that the paper was opened and he seemed to be reading from it. “What’s this about adventure?” Zombie Jem asked, curious. Teddy Tedaloo looked up from his paper and smiled. “Oh, that,” he answered slyly, “I know where you can find a giant.” Hearing this, the little teddy grew quite excited. “Ooh! I’ve never met a giant!” she said excitedly. “Well then,” the bear replied, “follow me.”

The group followed Teddy Tedaloo through the forest. He led them to an area that none of them had ever been to. “Maybe this isn’t the best idea,” Owl said nervously to everyone else. The little teddy shook her head. “We have to go,” she insisted, “it’ll be so fun!” She remembered fondly Teddy Tedaloo leading her to the fairy teddies. “I think she’s right,” Mickey agreed, “this will be lots of fun! Owl soon found that their excitement was contagious. Soon he was just as eager to see this giant as they were. Beary too was looking forward to seeing the giant. “Oh let’s huwwy up,” she said to everyone, “we want to see the giant!” Teddy Tedaloo laughed. He began to walk a little faster, much to everyone’s delight.

After a while of walking, they came upon a large cave. The little teddy noticed it was much like the one where the fairy teddies had been. “I assure you, it’s different,” Teddy Tedaloo said, seeming to read her mind. The little teddy clapped her paws together. “Ok,” she said eagerly, “let’s go!” She began to head into the cave when Zombie Jem grabbed her paw. “Hold on now, PammyBear,” he told his friend, “It may be exciting and fun, but we must still be careful!” Mickey nodded. “He’s right, Pammy,” he agreed, “we should walk in threes as we head it. Just to be safe.”

Everyone agreed that he was right. Mickey and Zombie Jem walked on either side of the little teddy and Teddy Tedaloo and Owl walked with Beary. The moment they entered the cave, they could feel the temperature drop. “Everyone, do huddle a little closer together to stay warm,” Teddy Tedaloo instructed everyone. They did as he said and continued into the cave. It was a dark cave, so they had to walk slowly. “I do wish we had brought a flashlight,” Mickey said as they made their way through the cave. “Well, we didn’t know we’d be going through a cave,” Zombie Jem answered him. The little teddy laughed. “But is’s jus so exciting,” she said.

They walked a bit further into the cave before they noticed a light at the back of the cave. “OOOH!” the little teddy exclaimed, “That mus be where the giant is!” As soon as she said spoke, a large growl came from the back of the cave. Followed shortly by another. A shadow suddenly appeared on the back wall of the cave. It was a massive shadow that seemed to show not one, but two giants. Another growl sounded through the cave. The shadows now appeared to move.

Everyone began to get nervous. Teddy Tedaloo had said there was only one giant. Now it seemed there were actually two. Were they friendly giants? Maybe they were mean giants who ate teddies for dinner. Maybe it was one giant, but with two heads. These thoughts and concerns along with others raced through the heads of the adventurers. But the little teddy wasn’t going to let fear and concern beat her. “I’m going to meet the giants,” she said bravely, “I’m not afwaid!”

The little teddy walked toward the back of the cave, moving slower the closer she got. Everyone slowly followed her, still afraid of what might come to meet them from the back of the cave. As the Teddy neared the furthest part of the cave, another loud growl rang through the cave. The shadows began to move, seeming to lumber towards the group of explorers.

The little teddy backed up slowly as the shadows came closer. Then suddenly, the shadows began to shrink. And the two giants finally emerged from the back of the cave. Hobbling towards them came two completely normal sized teddies. They looked nearly identical, with one being about half the size of the other. Both teddies were smiling. When they reached the group the littler of the two spoke.

“Hello,” he said happily. He seemed to be a little sleepy. “I is Little Dee and he is Dee.” The other teddy smiled and waved. “We’z cave bears!” Dee told them cheerily. The little teddy giggled. “Oh, we thought you were giants,” she told them. Little Dee and Dee both laughed. “Oh no,” Dee giggled, “Just cave bears. We not giants.” Beary stepped closer to the two and put out her paw. “I’m Beary,” she told the two, “I’m happy to meet you.” Little Dee walked up and gave her a hug. “Oh, hello,” he said, “is nice to meets you too!”

The adventurer went around introducing themselves to the two cave bears. The two turned out to be quite the opposite of scary giants. They discovered that the growling they had heard earlier was actually the sounds of Dee and Little Dee yawning. “The cave just makes it sounds much louder!” Dee giggled. Little Dee began sniffing the air. “Oh, does you has foods?” he asked, “I is starving and I finks I smells foods.” The little teddy and her friends all laughed. “Oh yes,” Zombie Jem said, “We just had a picnic earlier and we have some leftovers!” Little Dee jumped for joy. “Oh!” he exclaimed, “We has never hads picnic before!” Dee nodded. “Its true! Can we has picnic?” he asked.

The adventurers led their new friends outside where they set up a new picnic. They gathered up the food they had leftover and gave it to the cave bears. “Oh thank yous!” Little Dee said excitedly, “So much foods is all very good!” Owl and Beary were sharing some candy and fruit they had brought. “Do you like the candy?” Beary asked Dee as he munched on a bit of everything. “Oh yes!” Dee answered merrily, “Is all so goods!” Owl giggled as he watched the two cave bears. “You two mus be weally hungry,” he laughed. “Cave bears eat lots of foods,” Little Dee told him, “Wees very hungwy all the time!”

The little teddy was having so much fun with her new friends. She went over to Zombie Jem and whispered something in his ear. Her undead friend eyed her curiously. “Are you sure, PammyBear?” he asked her. The little teddy smiled and nodded. “Ok,” he told her happily. He reached into the bag he’d brought his own picnic supplies in. He pulled out a smaller bag and handed it to the little teddy. She walked back over to the two cave bears. “These are for you,” she said smiling, “the fwom my vewy speshul cowwection.”

Out of the little bag, she pulled out two potatoes. She gave one to each bear. They both took a potato. “Whas this?” Little Dee asked. The little teddy giggled. “It’s a potato, siwwy,” she explained, “I wove potatoes! They’re jus so nummy!!” Mickey laughed. “She really loves potatoes,” he told the bear, “and she only shares them if she really likes you!” Little Dee and Dee smiled. They each took a bite of their potato. “OH!” Dee exclaimed, “Potatoes is very yummy!” Little Dee bounced happily. “Oh yes,” he agreed, “Is super yums!” The little teddy was very happy they enjoyed her potatoes.

After spending a while with the two cave bears, it was time for everyone to head home. “It was vewy nice to meet you bof,” the little teddy told her new friends. Both Dee and Little Dee smiled. “We hads fun at picnics!” Little Dee told her. “Oh yes! So much fun and yum foods!” Dee added. The new friends all embraced and said goodbye. “Make sures yoo visits us!” Dee told them all as he and Little Dee headed back into their cave. “Oh we certainly shall!” Mickey answered. The adventurers began their walk back home.

It was a few minutes before anyone realized that Teddy Tedaloo had disappeared. “Where did that silly bear go?” Zombie Jem asked to no one in particular. “Tha’s a good question,” the little teddy said. They looked around for a minute before deciding to just keep on their way. But, to their surprise, Teddy Tedaloo was waiting at Zombie Jem’s cemetery. “Where’d you disappear to?” Mickey asked the bear. “Oh, I had some stuff to take care of,” came the sly answer, “and now I must be going. I shall see you all later!” The little teddy waved as he left. “Bye bye Teddy Tedawoo,” she called to him. “That’s Tedaloo,” he called back, “and I shall see you later!”

The adventurers split up at Zombie Jem’s cemetery. Mickey decided to stay with Jem so they could hold another Jam session. The little teddy, Owl, and Beary hugged and headed home. “They were vewy nice cave bears,” the little teddy said to her siblings. “Yea, I can’t wait to see them again,” Owl replied. Beary nodded. As they headed home, they three of them talked about all the fun adventures they were sure to have with their new friends.

Little Teddy and the Thunderstorm

/ teddysbwog / 2 Comments

Teddy 39

Oh, hello, everyone! I have another story for you today. It was inspired by my little sister, Teddy’s experience with a thunderstorm last night. I won’t say more; we’ll just get right to the story. I now present to you Little Teddy and the Thunderstorm. I do hope you enjoy!

 

Little Teddy and the Thunderstorm

The little teddy was on her way to Zombie Jem’s. She was going to hang out with him and Mickey. She was excited for today because Mickey and Jem had decided to play some music together. Mickey was going to bring his personal guitar and keyboard for Jem to play. The little teddy couldn’t wait to hear them perform together. She was trying to get there as quickly as she could because she was so eager to see them play together.

She was walking along through the woods, singing to herself when she felt a rain drop. She looked up and, sure enough, it had started to rain. It wasn’t coming down too heavily, so the little teddy wasn’t too worried. She didn’t mind the rain. So she kept walking, singing to herself. She was so focused on getting to see her friends that she didn’t notice how dark it was getting.

She was about half way there when she first noticed it. A slow rumbling in the sky. The little teddy suddenly noticed how dark it had gotten. Another rumbling in the sky, this time much louder. The little teddy shivered. She didn’t like thunderstorms. She began to pick up her pace, trying to reach her destination as quickly as possible. But before she could get very far, a large bolt of lightning burst through the ever darkening sky, followed by a very loud thunder clap.

The little teddy was getting frightened. She had always been afraid of thunder, but she had never been caught outside in a storm. And the rain was now beginning to come down harder and harder. Another loud crack of thunder caused the scared little teddy to jump. “Eeeee!,” she screamed. She began quickly searching for a place to hide from the storm. She knew she was still a ways away from reaching Zombie Jem’s cemetery so she hoped to find somewhere to wait out the storm.

But, search as she did, the little teddy could find nowhere to hide. She realized that her safest bet was to try and hide under a tree. But, much to her dismay, none of the trees around were that big. When another large thunder clap shook the very ground, the little teddy decided to just make a run for the cemetery. She took off, running as fast as her little legs would carry her. Suddenly the loudest thunder clap she had ever heard rang through the sky.

The little teddy, shaken from the thunder, slipped and fell on the muddy ground. She struggled to get her footing and then ran to closest tree. Another loud crack of thunder sounded as she reached the tree. The little teddy huddled as close to the tree as she could and curled up into a ball. It had gotten really dark and she wasn’t quite sure if she was going the right way. The little teddy began to cry. She was frightened by the storm and felt all alone.

The little teddy was beginning to think she would have to spend the night alone and scared in the middle of a terrible thunderstorm when she heard a voice in the distance. She wasn’t able to make out the voices, but she tried her best to focus on them. It was hard to do while the constant thunder kept scaring her. Finally she was able to make out something. “PammyBear?” she heard a voice calling. “Pammy?” another voice called. The little teddy stood up. It had to be Zombie Jem and Mickey. Shivering, she focused on where she heard the voices coming from. “Hewwo?” she yelled out as loud as she could. When she got no reply, she began to cry again. She worried that her friends had given up the search.

Suddenly the little teddy heard the voice again, this time much closer. “PammyBear?” she could clearly make out Zombie Jem’s voice this time. “I’m here,” she cried out, “I’m over here!” To the little teddy’s relief, Zombie Jem and Mickey came running up to her. Her two friends both hugged her. “I’m so sorry it took so long for us to get here,” Zombie Jem apologized, “as soon as it started storming, we got worried.” Mickey nodded. “We waited just a few moments,” he told her, “and then when you didn’t show up, we came out to find you.”

Zombie Jem and Mickey got the little teddy back to the cemetery as quickly as they could. “There’s a large shed in the very back in of the cemetery,” Jem explained to her once they got there, “that’s where we’re headed.” Once they got her inside, Zombie Jem went to get a blanket. Mickey hugged his friend. “Oh no,” he said worriedly, “you’re shivering. Don’t worry, Jem will be back with a blanket soon.” The little teddy curled up against her friend, trying to get a little warmer. “It was so scawy,” she said, “I’m so scawed of thunderstorms.” Mickey rubbed the little teddies back. “It’s ok,” he assured her, “you’re here with us now.”

It was just a couple of minutes before Zombie Jem returned. He had a large blanket with him. “That’s a big blanket for one small teddy,” Mickey told him. His undead friend smiled. “Oh it’s not just for her,” he laughed, “it’s for us all!” He handed the blanket to Mickey, who wrapped it around himself and the little teddy. “I’ve made us all some hot chocolate,” he told Mickey, before walking away, “and I wanna get the computer so we can show PammyBear that recording.”

Upon hearing this, the little teddy perked up some. She sat up. “What wecording,” she asked. Mickey smiled. “Oh yeah!,” he answered, “Before we came out to get you, we had recording a jam session. We think it sounds pretty good!” Zombie Jem walked back over and handed a mug of cocoa to his friends. He set down his laptop in front of them and sat down, wrapping the blanket around himself. He started up the laptop and pulled up the recording. “Get ready to enjoy the musical stylings of Mickey and the Undead,” Jem said proudly. The little teddy began to forget about her ordeal in the storm as she and her friends spent the night listening to music.

Hello, everyone! Thank you for joining me for another story. I think you’ll all enjoy my newest one! Please leave your thoughts on it in the comments below. Thank you! And now, without further ado, here’s The Little Teddy Meets a Rock Star.

 

The Little Teddy Meets a Rock Star

The little teddy was hanging out in Zombie Jem in his cemetery. With her was her brothers Owl and Fox. It was getting late and they had all been hanging out most of the day. And though it was getting late, none of them were ready to call it a night. “I think we should go out somewhere tonight,” Jem told his friends. The little teddy began bouncing excitedly. “Oh!” she replied, excitedly, “Yike where?” Zombie Jem shrugged. “I’m not sure,” he answered, “but I definitely wanna do something tonight.” The four friends began walking towards the cemetery’s exit.

The moment they closed the cemetery gate behind them, they heard a voice seemingly coming from the cemetery itself. “I think I can help you out,” the voice said. They all looked back into the cemetery, but saw nobody. Then, they saw someone walking up the side of the cemetery. They walked around to meet whoever it was that felt they needed help. The little teddy was surprised to see that she actually knew who it was.

“Teddy Tedawoo?” she asked as they met up with the bear. “That’s Teddy Tedaloo, thank you,” the bear replied, “and I think I have something fun for you all to do tonight!” Everyone’s eyes lit up. “Ooh!” the little teddy exclaimed, “yike what?” Teddy Tedaloo smiled. “Well, there’s a small concert being held in the forest,” he explained, “and I happen to have the last five tickets.” Zombie Jem eyed the bear suspiciously. “Now when you say small,” he started, “how small are we talking?” The bear shrugged. “It’s a private show,” he answered, “for five guests.”

Zombie Jem was a little uncertain of Teddy Tedaloo’s offer. “I don’t know,” he said, “it’s a little weird that you happen to have five tickets to a private show for five guests.” The little teddy grabbed Jem’s hand and began bouncing excitedly. “Oh pwease,” she asked, “can we go?” Jem saw that Fox and Owl were bouncing excitedly with their sister. He rolled his eyes and smiled. “Oh, ok,” he sighed, “it would be pretty cool to see a concert.” Teddy Tedaloo clapped his paws. “Well,” he began, “that’s settled! Now, if you’ll please follow me, we can make our way to the concert.” The group began following the bear into the forest.

The walk to the concert site was a very pleasant one. Teddy Tedaloo told them a little bit about the artist they were going to see. His name was Mickey and he had a band called Mickey and the Kilbears. They were an indie rock band that had only been performing for a short while. “But they’re very good,” he assured everyone, “I think you’re in for a real treat.” The little teddy was getting more and more excited as they walked. “I can’t wait!” she said happily. “Oh yeah,” Owl agreed, “this is going to be so fun!” In no time they had arrived to their destination.

A large stage was set up in a large clearing in the forest. Speakers lined the sides of the stage, and in the middle of the stage was the band setup. The little teddy could tell the band was a five piece, with three guitarists, a keyboardist, and a drummer. “Well the band uses some good equipment,” he explained to everyone, “so that’s a good sign.” Teddy Tedaloo motioned to a row of five seats in front of the stage. “Everyone, please be seated,” he instructed, “the show is about to begin.” Excited, everyone sat down. Many colored lights flooded the stage. They show was about to start, and the little teddy was getting more and more excited.

A small bear walked up on stage, followed by four more who each took their place at their respective instruments. The first bear went up to a microphone in the front center of the stage. “Thank you all for coming tonight,” he said, a little nervously, “I’m Mickey and we are Mickey and the Kilbears!” The little teddy began clapping. Everyone else joined in shortly after. Upon hearing the applause, Mickey smiled brightly. “We hope you enjoy the show!” he said excitedly before going to get his own guitar.

The moment they began playing, the little teddy knew that this was probably the greatest band ever. She was enthralled by the way the band played and by the way Mickey sang. She looked over to everyone and saw that they were all having a good time to. Owl and Fox were both dancing with the music. Zombie Jem leaned in close to the little teddy. “Are you having fun, PammyBear,” he asked her. The little teddy nodded happily. “Oh yes,” she answered, “this is so fun! I wove this band!” Jem nodded and the two focused their attention back to the band.

The show lasted about an hour and a half. As soon as they finished their last song, Mickey walked back up to the front and center mic. “Thank you all so much again for coming to the show tonight,” he began, with much more confidence than when he’d first spoken, “Did you all enjoy yourselves?” Everyone stood up, clapping and cheering. Mickey beamed. “I’m so glad you had fun everyone!” he said happily, “Now, my band mates aren’t really ones for socializing, but I’ll be hanging around for a while. But please, would you please give it up for my band mates before they leave?” Everyone stood up again and applauded Mickey’s band mates as they stood up and headed off stage.

A few minutes later, Mickey came from backstage to meet everyone. He smiled as he walked up. “I’m sorry for the wait,” he told them apologetically, “I had to catch up with the rest of the band. I keep trying to get them to be more social but, so far, I’ve had no luck with that.” Teddy Tedaloo shook his head. “Oh, it’s no problem at all,” he told Mickey, “We understand completely. Right everyone?” Everyone nodded agreement. Zombie Jem approached Mickey and extended his hand. Mickey took it with a smile. “Man, that was some good music,” Jem told him, “I used to be a musician myself when I was alive.” Mickey nodded. “That’s really cool,” he replied, “We’re still pretty new, but we’ve gotten some really positive feedback so far.”

Zombie Jem and Mickey talked for a while about their music. The little teddy waited anxiously with her brothers. They were discussing the show when Mickey and Jem came over to them. “Sorry for taking so long,” Mickey said, “I get distracted easily when discussing music.” Zombie Jem nodded. “I’m sorry, everyone,” he added, “I didn’t mean to keep him for so long. I don’t often get to reminisce about my music days.” The little teddy laughed. “Oh, tha’s ok,” she told her friend, “We’ve been having fun talking about the concert. It was jus so fun!” Owl and Fox both nodded. “We both had a wot of fun!” Fox told Mickey happily. “Oh yes,” Owl agreed, “Your band is vewy good!” Mickey smiled brightly. “Thank you so much!” he told them, “I really appreciate it!”

The little teddy spent the next few minutes getting to know Mickey. She really liked Mickey. He told her that he was a pretty shy bear, but playing in a band was helping him become a little less so. “Well, I would never guess you were a shy bear,” the little teddy told him, “You seem pwetty confident.” Mickey giggled. “Well, I’m really working on it,” he told her. The little teddy smiled. “Well, you’re doing a weawwy good job!” she assured him. “I don’t mean to interrupt,” Jem said suddenly, “but how would you feel about coming back to my place to hang out for a little bit? If you have the time, that is.” The teddy began bouncing excitedly. “Oh yes,” she exclaimed, “that would be so fun!” Mickey’s eyes lit up. “Oh! That would be great,” he answered, “I can’t believe how nice you all are!”

Soon, Mickey was walking back with everyone to Zombie Jem’s cemetery. He was so happy to have made so many friends at his show. When they reached the cemetery he couldn’t help but be impressed. “Wow,” he told Zombie Jem, “this place is huge!” Jem smiled proundly. “Oh yes,” he replied, “I quite like it!” Teddy Tedaloo clapped his paws together. “Well,” he told everyone, “this is where I take my leave. Got a paper to write!” He smiled and headed off. “Bye Teddy Tedawoo,” the little teddy called to him as he walked away, “See you water!” The bear turned around quickly. “That’s Teddy TedaLOO,” he called back, “and yes, you certainly shall see me later!” He continued off back to his newstand.

The little teddy spent the rest of the night hanging out with Mickey and Zombie Jem in the cemetery. Fox and Owl had decided to head home a little after Teddy Tedaloo had left. Teddy and Jem both found that they really enjoyed Mickey’s company. And to their delight, he felt the same. “I do hope you’ll come by often!” Jem told Mickey happily. Mickey nodded. “I definitely will,” he answered, “you’re all very nice and I’m glad to have met you all.” The little teddy gave her new friend a big hug. She was glad to have met such a nice bear. The new friends spent a while talking before the little teddy decided to head home. On her way, she thought about the fun everyone would have adventuring with their new friend. Her rock ‘n’ roll bear.

Dance of the Fairy Teddies

Teddy 38

Oh, hello, everyone. Welcome to another bedtime story with me, Teddy. Tonight’s story is a fairy tale! I hope you enjoy it! I’m quite excited to write my first fairy tale so let me get right to it. Our story takes place in a beautiful place. That place, is the mind of a little teddy. A teddy who longs for adventures. To see new places. To make new friends.

Now, let us delve into that beautiful mind. Let us witness, The Dance of the Fairy Teddies.

 

The Dance of the Fairy Teddies

The little teddy had just gone to bed. She’d had a fun day hanging out with her siblings and Zombie Jem and was quite exhausted. As soon as she got into bed, she fell asleep quickly. And shortly after, she went off to the dream world.

The little teddy opened her eyes. She didn’t recognize where she had awoken. She was laying under a tree in what seemed to be a large forest. The little teddy stood up and looked around. “Ooh,” she gasped, “this pwace is weawwy pwetty!” She began to explore the forest, before realizing that regardless of how pretty the place was, she didn’t know where she was.

“Oh hi, PammyBear!” The little teddy turned to see Zombie Jem standing behind her. “Oh hi!” she said excitedly, running to hug her friend. After a long embrace, she asked, “Do you know where we are?” Zombie Jem shook his head. “No,”he answered, “I have no idea.”  The two began walking around the forest, enjoying all the nature around them.

After a while, they came upon what seemed to be the way out of the forest. But blocking the way was a hooded figure. As they got closer to figure, they way that he was holding a large walking stick. “Hmm…” Zombie Jem mused, “I wonder who this could be.” When they reached the figure, he took off his hood, revealing himself to be a bear. “Hello there, travelers,” the bear said loudly, “I have been waiting for you!” The little teddy and Zombie Jem exchanged quick glances. “What do you mean?” Jem asked the bear.

The bear explained to them that it was his job to lead new travelers in the forest to their destinations, even if they were unaware of having one in the first place. The forest was a place that couldn’t be found on a map. Nobody quite knew how to find the forest, but somehow there were always new travelers. “And I, Teddy Tedaloo, am here to lead them all on their way!” The bear finished his speech with a bow. “Oh, so where are we going, Mr. Cwazy bear?” the Teddy asked, giggling. “That’s Teddy Tedaloo,” the bear said sternly, “and I insist you call me that exactly!” And with that, the walked past the little teddy and Zombie Jem and headed deeper into the forest. The two friends headed after him.

Teddy Tedaloo led the little teddy and Zombie Jem further and further into the woods. “Where exactly are we going?” Jem asked their guide. The bear looked back at the two travelers and smiled. “To witness the dance of the fairy teddies,” he said quickly before turning back. The little teddy’s eyes lit up. “Faiwy teddys?” she exclaimed, “I wanna see faiwy teddys!!” Teddy Tedaloo laughed. “Then follow me,” he instructed her. The little teddy bounced excitedly. “Ok!” she agreed. Zombie Jem laughed. The two continued to follow their guide.

After walking for what seemed like hours to the little teddy, they reached a cave. “Well,” Teddy Tedaloo said to her, “this is your destination. Head on in and I’ll wait here for you and your friend to get out.” The little teddy looked into the cave. She could see a very faint light at the far back of it, but nothing more. But she was too excited to be scared. “Ooh, let’s go,” she told her zombie friend, “I wanna see the faiwies!” Zombie Jem grabbed her paw. “Ok,” he told his friend, “but hold my hand until we get to the back of the cave. It’s dark and I don’t want you to trip and get hurt.” The two headed into the dark cave.

The cave was even more vast than it seemed. It felt to the little teddy that it took forever to reach the back, where the light was coming from. And when they did finally reach it, the two couldn’t believe their eyes. Flying around a large opening at the back of the cave were fairies. But not just ordinary fairies. Fairy teddies, just as Teddy Tedaloo had said.

“Oh my gosh,” Zombie Jem gasped, “I can’t believe it.” The little teddy couldn’t take her eyes away from the fairies. “Faiwies,” she said excitedly, “weal faiwy teddys!” Zombie Jem was happy to see the little teddy so excited. “Why don’t you see if you can approach them,” he suggested. The little teddy nodded and walked slowly towards the fairies, expecting they to fly away in fear. But, much to her surprise, they flew towards her. The fairies surrounded her and led her to the middle of the opening and began flying around her. Their wings started to glow as they continued to circle the little teddy.

Suddenly the little teddy started to feel a little warm. “Whoa, PammyBear,” Zombie Jem said with a hint of nervousness, “you’re glowing!” The little teddy looked at her paws and saw that she was indeed glowing. “Ooh! What’s going on?” she asked aloud. Then she began to feel lighter. “You’ve grown wings, PammyBear!” Jem excitedly told her. The little teddy reached behind her and felt the wings that had suddenly sprouted from her back. “Oh!” she exclaimed, “I’m a faiwy teddy!” She turned to Zombie Jem, beaming. “I’m a faiwy teddy,” she said excitedly, “I’m a faiwy teddy!”

The little teddy took a couple of minutes to get used to her new wings, and then flew over to Zombie Jem. “Your wings are very pretty,” her undead friend told her, smiling. “I know,” the little teddy replied, “I weawwy yike them!” She took her friend’s hand and started to fly. She wasn’t sure if she would be able to fly with Jem, but to her excitement, she could. “Wow, PammyBear, we’re flying!” Jem exclaimed. He could hardly believe how strong the fairies’ magic was. But here he was, flying with his best friend. He was having a lot of fun and he could tell that she was having even more fun than him.

The little teddy flew around with Zombie Jem for a while more before the other fairy teddies began flying around them. “What are they doing?” Jem asked. The little teddy listened for a moment, seemingly hearing something that he couldn’t. “They’re saying that I have to set you down so we can dance,” she explained. She wasn’t entirely sure how she knew what they were saying, but she did. And, as the fairies had said, she carefully landed and set down Jem and joined them back in the center of the opening.

The fairy teddies began flying around the little teddy again. Their wings began to glow and continuously change colours as they began to fly all around, filling the whole area with a rainbow of light. The little teddy began to fly spin around, her own wings glowing. Almost as if by instinct, she began to dance with the rest of the fairy teddies. Zombie Jem sat back, watching in awe. He had never seen something so amazing in his life, or his afterlife. He loved seeing his PammyBear having such a fun time.

Zombie Jem could have watched the fairy teddies dance forever. But, after a while, the dance came to an end. The little teddy landed as the rest of the fairies began circling her again. Their wings began to glow again, and in couple of moments, the little teddies wings disappeared. She thanked the fairy teddies and then ran to her friend. “I got to be a faiwy!,” she said excitedly, hugging Jem. Zombie Jem smiled. “I saw,” he told her happily, “You looked amazing dancing with the other fairies. But I think we ought to head back.” The little teddy nodded. “Yeah,” she agreed, “I think you’re wight. Let’s so see if that cwazy bear is still out there.”

Zombie Jem took the little teddys paw and they walked through dark cave again to get back to the forest. Teddy Tedaloo was waiting at the cave’s entrance for them. He smiled as they approached them. “Did you see the teddy fairies?” he asked the little teddy. She and Zombie Jem relayed the story of what had happened deep in the cave. Teddy Tedaloo nodded. “Yeah,” he said knowingly, “That’s what I thought.” Zombie Jem looked at him curiously. “What do you mean, Teddy Tedaloo?” he asked the bear. “Oh, nothing,” Teddy Tedaloo answered, “Now let’s get you two back home.”

The two travelers followed their guide back through the forest. They didn’t talk much as did; instead they just enjoyed the sounds of the forest. When they reached the forest’s exit where they had first met Teddy Tedaloo, they stopped to say goodbye. “I’m certain we’ll see each other again,” Teddy Tedaloo told the little teddy, “And probably you as well, my undead friend.” He gave the two travelers a hug. “Thank you vewy much for leading us to the faiwy teddies,” the little teddy said as she hugged him. Zombie Jem gave him a hug too and then he and the little teddy walked out of the forest.

The little teddy opened her eyes. She sat up in her bed, a big smile on her face. “What a vewy nice dweam,” she said to herself, “I should meet up wif Zombie Jem and tell him about it.” She got out of bed and went to the living room. Her mommy and daddy were watching t.v. with her siblings. “Oh! Good morning, mommy! Good morning, daddy!” she said cheerily, “May I go to Zombie Jems for a little while?” Her mommy smiled. “Of course you can,” she answered, “Just don’t be out too late.” The little teddy nodded. “I won’t, mommy,” she told her, “I’ll pwobabwy be back for wunch.” With that, she headed out to see her friend.

The little teddy closed the front door to her house and headed towards Zombie Jems cemetery. She noticed a stand in the street across the road that she hadn’t seen before. She went to investigate, and found that it was a news stand. She saw someone in the back of the stand looking through some boxes. “Excuse me,” the little teddy said to the stranger. The stranger stood up and walked over to the stand. He was a jolly looking bear. The little teddy thought he seemed familiar, but she couldn’t place him. “Hi there,” the bear said happily, “I’ve just set up this news stand. I eventually plan to have a full news station, but for now this will do. I have lots to set up still, but here, take a copy of my paper. Free of charge. And please, come back to see me when I’m fully set up.”

The bear handed the little teddy a newspaper. She took a look at the cover page. “The Teddy Tedaloo Times,” she read aloud, “that sounds familwar.” But she couldn’t place it any more than she could place the bear. She shrugged it off and continued on her way to Zombie Jem’s cemetery. She just couldn’t wait to tell him about her dream.

The Mysterious Restaurant

/ teddysbwog / 9 Comments

Oh, hello everyone. Welcome to another story time. I have a very special story. What makes it so special, you may be asking yourself. Well, tonight’s story is brought to you in part by some very nice friends of my sister, Teddy. Their names are Chalky, Cuddles, and Toddy Furrington. They have provided the setting for tonight’s story. Please focus your attention to the pictures below.

Teddy 45

Here we have a very pleasant restaurant. Nothing remotely out of place, right? We shall see.

Teddy 44

The lovely dining area within the restaurant. Lovely, yes? Out of place? I would seem not.

Teddy 43

The bar. Many gather for drinks here every night. It seems completely normal, right?

Teddy 46

The game room. Where many might come for a nice game of pool or cards. Nothing strange here.

Now that we’ve seen this gorgeous restaurant and all she has to offer, let’s get on with tonight’s story. The title of our story tonight is The Mysterious Restaurant. I do so hope you enjoy it.

The Mysterious Restaurant

The  little teddy was hanging out with Zombie Jem in his cemetery. With them also were her little brothers, Fox and Owl, and her sister, Beary. They were in the middle of discussing their next big adventure. So far they had come up with nothing. But that’s when Owl had an idea. “Oh, have you all heard the story of the mysterious restaurant?” he asked everyone. Intrigued, Zombie Jem replied, “No, I can’t say that I have. What about you, PammyBear?” Jem had taken to calling the little teddy PammyBear because she reminded him of a family member from back when he was still alive. “I don’t think I’ve heard that stowy, either,” she answered, “Pwease, tell us the stowy, Owl!”

“The story is that there’s a restaurant that just appears from nowhere,” he began, “Like, you can actually go into this place and eat food and everything.” The little teddy jumped up, excited. “OOH!” she exclaimed, “I wanna go!” Zombie Jem got up and clapped his hands. “Oh yes,” he agreed, “I think this could be quite fun! Do you know where this restaurant shows up, Owl?” Owl shook his head. “Unfortunately, I don’t,” he told them. The little teddy and Jem both dropped their heads, disappointed. “That’s ok,” Fox chimed in, “Beary and I know where it is. We’ve never gone there at night, but we have been there during the day.” the little teddy began jumping up and down excitedly. “Calm down, PammyBear,” Jem told the little teddy, “Why don’t you all head home, get some supplies, and meet me back here when it starts to get dark?”

A couple of hours passed as the little teddy and her siblings got supplies ready for the night’s adventure. They got flashlights, potatoes, and a few jackets in case the weather got bad. They even packed a few lemons for Zombie Jem. As they were headed out the door to meet back at Jem’s cemetery, Fox stopped everyone for a moment. “Let me run back in and get a camera,” he told them, “so that way we can prove it really happened.” He ran in and grabbed his camera and when he came back out, the group set out to meet up with Zombie Jem.

When they got back to the cemetery, Zombie Jem was waiting for them at the gate. “So, are well ready?” he asked his friends. “You bet we are!” the little teddy replied, excited, “Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go!” Beary pulled out a map from her backpack that she and Fox had drawn up before they left home. “The pwace isn’t too far,” she explained, “It should onwy take us about twenny minutes to get there.” She took out some flashlights from her backpack and passed them out to her siblings and Jem. They began walking towards the spot where the mysterious restaurant was said to appear.

The walk to the spot was quite pleasant. The friends laughed and joked the whole way. But as they neared the spot where the restaurant was supposed to appear, they saw nothing. No building at all. It was just a group of trees. “I don’t understand,” Jem said to Owl, “I thought it was supposed to appear at night.” Owl shrugged. “I don’t know,” he answered his undead friend, “Are you sure this is the right spot, Fox?” Fox nodded, “Yes, Beary and I went over the map a few times before we left,” he replied. The adventurers waited at the spot for a while longer before deciding to give up. “Well, this wasn’t quite what I was hoping for,” the little teddy sighed, “I guess we should jus go home.” Jem hugged his friend. “It’s ok, PammyBear,” he told her, “We’ll find somethingelse to do.”

The adventurers began walking back when suddenly they felt a strong, cold wind hit their backs. They turned around to see a huge building where the group of trees had just been. It was a lovely building with large sign on the front which read “The Furry Tails Restaurant & Bar”. The little teddy let out a squeal of excitement. “OH OH OH!” she said excitedly, “It’s reawwy here!!” She went to walk towards the building when Beary grabbed her paw. “Hey,” she told her sister, “maybe we should take our time here. We don’t know if it’s safe.” PammyBear shook her head. “But we’re adventuwers,” she replied, “We can’t always worry about if its safe or not.” Beary nodded. “Yeah, you’re wight,” she agreed, “Let’s do this!”

The little teddy opened the door to the restaurant and was not disappointed. The inside of the restaurant was just as beautiful as the outside. But before she and her companions could begin exploring, they heard a friendly voice coming towards them. “Good evening and welcome to The Furry Tails Restaurant and Bar,” a friendly looking bear said the group, “My name is Chalky and I’ll be your server for the night. Follow me and take you to your seats.”

The adventurers followed Chalky to a very lovely table where he sat them all down and began to take their orders. “What can I get you lovely adventurers to drink,” Chalky asked, smiling, “We quite literally have anything you could want.” Before anyone else could speak, Owl asked, “Excuse me? But how did you know we’re adventurers?” Chalky smiled. “Why everyone who comes here is an adventurer of some sort, Honey,” he answered pleasantly, “Now, you seem like a group who would love some hot, fresh tea. How does that sound?” Everyone agreed that tea sounded great. “Alright, give me just a moment and I’ll have that right out,” Chalky assured them.

It seemed that as soon as Chalky had left, he was back. “That was weawwy fast,” the little teddy said happily as Chalky began pouring tea for everyone. “Well, we do pride ourselves in our customer service,” he replied, setting down the tea pot and pulling out a small notepad, “Now what can I get you all to eat. Again, we do have quite literally anything you may possibly want. We even have an abundance of potatoes for you, should you so please.” The little teddy’s eyes lit up when she heard potatoes. “Ooh!” she exclaimed, “Could I have wots and wots of potatoes, pwease?” Chalky laughed. “Why of course,” he answered, smiling, “And for everyone else?”

As everyone else gave their orders, the little teddy began to look around. The whole restaurant had a very familiar feel to it. Almost as if she’d been there before. She looked over towards the bar. The bartender was a very nice looking gentlemanly bear. Chalky must have noticed her looking, as he said to the little teddy, “That’s Toddy. He’s a fine bartender and such a gentleman. I believe you will all make his acquaintance later on tonight.” When he had finished speaking, Toddy smiled and gave a small wave to them. The adventurers all smiled and waved back. They were all loving this mysterious restaurant.

It took a little longer than when she got drinks, but Chalky returned with their food much quicker than they expected. They had gotten a variety of foods from all over the world. And yet, in seemingly no time at all, here was their server, with all of their food. “Now that’s what I call fast,” Zombie Jem said, surprised. Smiling, Chalky replied, “Of course. As I said, we pride ourselves in our customer service.” Beaming and slightly drooling, Fox said, “I can see why. You’re vewy good and vewy fast!” Chalky gave a small nod. “Which is exactly what such fine guests as yourself,” he said before walking off.

It took the adventurers some time to finish all of their food. But they left not a single crumb. “That was some might fine food,” Jem was saying as Chalky came back to collect everyone’s dishes. “I hope everybody had a pleasant meal,” he said as he began picking up the dishes. “Oh we did!” the little teddy said happily, “Those were some weawwy good potatoes!” Beary nodded. “And my paella was super nummy,” she added, “and Owl’s piewogis!” Owl nodded in agreement. Chalky smiled proudly. “And how about your fish and chips, Fox? And your lasagna, Jem?” Both Fox and Jem smiled widely. “It was quite delicious,” Jem told their server. “So was mine,” Fox agreed. “I’m quite glad,” Chalky said as he took their dishes back to the kitchen. He came back shortly after and struck up conversation with his guests.

The adventurers talked for a while with Chalky before he went back to the kitchen. They were all quite full after their meal. “Maybe we should check out the rest of the place,” Zombie Jem suggested, “A building this big must have more than just a restaurant and a bar.” But before they could get up from the table, a voice from behind them asked, “Dessert?” Everyone turned their heads to see another bear headed their way. She was carrying a tray with a rather large chocolate cake and some ice cream. Suddenly everyone was hungry again. “Yes, please,” they said in unison. After setting the tray on the table, the bear said, “I thought you might say that. My name is Cuddles and I handle dessert here at the restaurant.” She smiled and then proceeded to serve up cake to the adventurers. “Would you mind terribly if stayed to share some dessert too,” she asked, “I would love to get to know you all.” Everyone agreed that they would enjoy that.

After dessert, Cuddles came back to clean up the plates. “That was so so yummy,” the little Teddy told her. Cuddles smiled. “I’m glad you liked it,” she told the group happily, “Now, how would you lot like to check out our game room?” The little teddy jumped up from her seat. “Oh yes pwease!” she exclaimed. “I agree,” Zombie Jem added, “I think it would be quite fun to check out the game room.” Cuddles gathered up the dishes from dessert. “Very well,” she said, “allow me to take care of these and I shall return to take you to the game room.”

Soon they were following Cuddles upstairs to where the game room was. When they saw it, they were not surprised that it was just as splendid as the rest of the restaurant and bar. There were two lovely pool tables and a few tables for playing cards. A large fireplace added an air of comfort to the room. “Well, I shall leave you to it,” Cuddles said, turning to leave, “Please feel free to call me should you need anything.” With that, Cuddles left the adventurers alone in the game room. Or so they thought.

Zombie Jem walked over to the wall where the pool cues were and grabbed two. “Here, PammyBear,” he said excitedly, “let’s play!” It was at the point that Fox noticed somebody sitting in the corner of the room. “Look over there,” he said, pointing to the corner. As everybody turned to look over where Owl had pointed, someone sat up and walked towards them. It was a little cow. He was very small and seemed to have no eyes. “Oh h-h-hewwo,” the little cow stuttered, “M-my name is Oo-oo…my name is Oom.” The little teddy went over and gave him a hug. “Oh hi!” she told him, “what are you doing here?” Oom went over to the wall and got a pool cue. “I wike to pw-pw-pway pool,” he told them. “Oh, ho!” A voice behind the group made them jump. They turned around to see Toddy, the bartender walking into the game room.

“Little Oom here is much more than he appears,” Toddy was explaining, “Despite his very small stature, he is probably the best pool player that we’ve seen here at Furry Tails.” Oom walked over to one of the pool tables. “W-w-would someone w-wike to join m-m-m…join me?” he asked. Zombie Jem walked up to the pool table. “Sure,” he told Oom, “Let’s play.” Toddy clapped his paws together. “Very well,” he said happily, “it loos like we have a match!”

Zombie Jem racked up the balls and the game was on. Jem lined up and took his first shot. It was a good one, with one of the striped balls pocketed. “Yes!” Jem exclaimed, “Off to a great start!” But then, to his disappointment, he scratched on his next shot. “Well, that isn’t what I expected,” he sighed. Oom then moved up to the table. “H-h-here we g-g-g-go,” he stammered. He took his first shot. And when he did, Jem knew he had no chance of winning. Oom pocketed three of his balls with his first shot. And then he continued to sink the rest of them, without missing any of them. Within a matter of minutes, Oom had won.

Toddy went over to Jem and patted him on the back. “Oh, now that was a great game,” he declared, “well played, the both of you!” Zombie Jem hung his head. The little teddy went over and gave him a hug. “Teeheehee, cwazy zombie,” she teased, “that was over vewy fast.” Oom took Jems hand and shook it. “Y-you di-d-d-did vewy w-well,” he assured him, “I’m jus b-b-better. Tee. Hee.” Toddy let a chuckle. “Well, I think the poor chap’s had enough games for now,” he stated, “Why don’t you all follow me back to the bar for a Furry Tails nightcap before we close up for the evening?” The little teddy shrugged. “Ok, that sounds good!” she answered, “But do you have to cwose soon?” Toddy nodded. “Oh, yes, I’m afraid we do,” he told her, “It is getting very late.” He looked over to Oom. “Are you coming, Oom,” he asked. Oom shook his head. “N-n-no thank you,” he answered, “I th-think I’m going to pw-pw-pwactice a little.” Toddy nodded. “Very well,” he said with a smile, “We shall see you later.”

In a few minutes, the adventurers were all seated at the bar. “Now,” Toddy started, “what would everyone like? Anything you want, we have.” The little teddy took a minute to think. “Ohh, could I get a hot chocowate, pwease?” she asked, “Wif mini marshmewwows?” Fox nodded excitedly. “Ooh, me too, pwease!” he said happily. Toddy smiled cheerily. “Of course,” he said, “and for the rest of you?” After a moment, Zombie Jem asked, “Could I get some tea? Earl Grey, if you have it?” Toddy nodded. “We certainly do have that,” he replied. “May I have some apple juice, pwease?” Beary asked. “And, I’d like a strawberry milk, please.” Owl added. Toddy nodded again and turned around to start getting everyone’s drinks.

He turned back soon with their drinks all ready. “Dang,” Jem said, “Everyone’s fast here!” Toddy chuckled. “We do our best,” he stated, “Now, drink up!” Everyone tried their drinks. “Oh, this is so so nummy,” teddy said happily. Everyone agreed. “Yes, this is some of the best tea I’ve ever had,” Zombie Jem told him. “Well, I try to make sure everyone who drinks here at my bar has a very pleasant experience,” Toddy replied. “Well, you’ve certainly seen to that here,” Owl answered. To which Toddy said, “Why thank you! We’re all so happy you’ve had a great night with us here.” As everyone had their drinks, they talked at length about many things with Toddy. He was a very interesting bear with many fun tales to tell.

When everyone finished their drinks, Toddy led them all back to the entrance. Waiting for them there were Chalky and Cuddles. Chalky smiled and gave each of the adventurers a hug. “Thank you so much for coming,” he said to the little teddy as he hugged her. “Yes,” Cuddles added, “we’ve loved having you all.” From behind them, they heard the familiar voice of Oom. “I know w-we onwy pwayed one g-g-game of p-p-p…of pool,” he stuttered, “but it was a w-wot of f-f-fun.” He gave everyone a hug, and stood with Chalky and Cuddles. Toddy then proceeded to give each adventurer a big hug himself. “I had a jolly good time chatting with you all at the bar,” he told them, “You’ve all been very pleasant guests. And we truly are grateful to have had you here tonight. Thank you all very much.” The little teddy smiled. “No no!” she said, “Thank you all so so much for being so nice to us! We had a weawwy gweat time!”

The group left The Furry Tails Restaurant and Bar and started to head home. The little teddy turned back to wave goodbye, but the building had vanished. It it’s place was the same group of trees that had been there when the had first arrived. She pointed this out to her companions. “Well I’ll be,” Owl said, “That place really is a mystery.” Fox and Beary nodded. “But it’s a nice mystery,” Jem replied. The little teddy nodded. “I agwee,” she said, “We should go there again.” Everyone nodded in agreement. They then continued their walk home, all the while talking about their experience at The Furry Tails Restaurant and Bar. None of them realized that they not taken a single picture to prove their tale.
